No.

A router's responsibility is to route packets between DISSIMILAR network
prefixes.

In essence, trying to do what you want is similar to this:

- you live at 100 John St
- you need to go to 50 John St
- the street is addressed in a way that a 50 John street is to your left
AND to the right

Which way do you go?
